The Met Office
The Met Office is the UK's National Weather Service. They have a long history of weather forecasting and have been working in the area of climate change for more than two decades. They provide forecasts for the public to help them make informed decisions about their day-to-day activities, and the National Severe Weather Warning Service is also a part of this, providing advance notice of weather which could affect public safety. Climate change has become an increasingly important issue and Met Office research continues to create an ever clearer picture of how it will affect the planet and our lives.
